25 Classic Australian Kids Books

Good Reading is probably my favourite magazine. I buy lots of other magazines of course, but this one I actually read from cover to cover each month, and then reread them when I find them languishing about the house somewhere. There are always many intriguing new books reviewed, and fascinating bookish articles.

Back in September 2014 they published this great list of Cracker Jack Kids Books, highlighting 25 of the best Australian kids books from the last 45 years. As with all things we Aussies don't mind claiming good things that could probably be construed as being from New Zealand.

Thanks to my teaching days I've read all but 2 of these books. I suspect the Dick Roughsey one is out of print as it's not one I've seen or heard of anywhere.And Sister Madge was recently rereleased - so I must take a closer look at the copy we have at work :-)
